Despite the damage, the celebration definitely seemed all in good fun. Several players took care to make sure the analysts weren’t hurt, and the tone of the tweet was congenial in nature.

Sweden has a history of producing great players, yet never rising above the fringes of greatness itself. The Blågult were runners-up at the 1958 World Cup — which they hosted and was coincidentally also the last time Italy missed out — and finished third twice. This will be the Swedes’ first trip to the World Cup since 2006, when they reached the knockout stages but bowed out in the Round of 16.

Definitely seems like something to celebrate. And celebrate they did. Just ask that desk.
